But instead they delivered something that was a faded shadow of what they said they were going to give people. And people were of course disappointed. From what I read about the dev process it was pretty clear that the original intentions for the depth and feel of the game were thrown out when they were pretty far in development and replaced with a more shallow gameplay and more cartoony look in order to appease EA executives that thought it wasn't cute enough and was too detailed.

I would leave too after having what could have been my masterpiece neutered by a bunch of executives.
